Subject: Sweet Children' Story
This is a sweet book, complete with energetic heroines, mean neighbors and adventures galore. I'm long past the days of playhouses and make-believe, but the girls took me back years and made me laugh as they played at being grown-up for the summer with a house of their very own.
Betsie Bush does an excellent job on this solo reading.
